Hydraulic Modulator Gears: Installation
1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV Van PassengerSECTION Installation
- Install gears in original position. DO NOT allow gears to turn during installation of gear retaining nuts. Piston in hydraulic modulator can hit bottom of bore, damaging piston. Insert a drift through holes in gears (not between gear teeth). SeeFigure .
- Insert drift through to recessed hole in hydraulic modulator base. Install gear retaining nuts. Tighten gear retaining nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONSΒ .
- Place master cylinder and hydraulic modulator assembly upside-down with gears facing you, rotate each gear counterclockwise until movement stops. Rotating gears counterclockwise will position pistons very close to top of hydraulic modulator bore, making brake bleeding easier.
- Position motor pack onto hydraulic modulator, aligning 3 motor pack gears with hydraulic modulator gears. Install motor pack attaching screws. Tighten motor pack screws to specification.
- Install gear cover onto bottom of hydraulic modulator. Tighten gear cover screws to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONSΒ . Install hydraulic modulator and master cylinder assembly onto vehicle. Bleed brake system. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEMΒ .
